Valentine's day is almost upon us, and while it may not be the most exciting celebration of the year, it does give us an opportunity to switch things up in the classroom. Especially for boring Cambridge exam classes.

This is why I do what I do. 💪

This message really hit home. I remember those early days of teaching – the challenges, the overwhelm. But you've got this! Never stop learning and growing.

At our school we are always telling parents to encourage their children to read. However, they then look at you and say "Can you recommend a book?" or "so...where do I get them a book then?".

Finally, I can point them in the right direction.
